In honor of finals week, a song. [To the tune of Backstreet Boy's "I Want It That Way"]:
*ahem*
TELL ME WHY 📣
I ALWAYS PRO-CRAS-TUH-NATE. ⏳
TELL ME WHY 😱
I KEEP MAKING THIS SAME MISTAKE ⏱️
TELL ME WHY 😭
I NEVER WANT TO HEAR YOU SAY 🦻
"Why didn't you do this yesterday?" 💪

[Alexandra Giardinelli @Alexandra_G218]

I wanted to take some time to reflect on what I learned writing my most challenging blogs! 💪
This post is part portfolio, partly a practice in self-critique, and most importantly: my reminder to keep growing as a writer! 👩‍💻

Finals week! I don't know about you guys, but I am SO glad I've been working ahead this term or I'd be dead 😵good luck everyone! Here's hoping the good report-card fairy visits you all 🧚‍♂️💯

I'm like a lot of the 2020 Would-Have-Been-Brides. I got married quietly and started planning another wedding for next year. The change of plans changed our perspective too, and we cut 3 HUGE expenses our wedding!
Here's why I think you should too 👀↙️

I'm 25 and I just had my first Thanksgiving Turkey dinner. I guess there's one American custom my Husband's Italian family is willing to accept 😜🦃🍷

Yall remember that scene in the movie Ratatouille where the food reviewer took a bite and had a flashback to a childhood memory? Totally what came to my mind when @thewholedish said "food is personal" #COMM206

[Alexandra Giardinelli @Alexandra_G218]

Okay unpopular opinion: I hate social media. I don't do well with things that require maintinence. But I have to do it, and do it well to be successful in my businesses.
You know what makes it easier? A long-term content plan and preloaded posts! #COMM206

I'm #obsessed with Steven King's #OnWriting. I am all about his method. It's how I tell people to work when they ask me to edit their long works #COMM206

Google punishes thin blogs.
•Write 1k words
•Include back-links to your own work (funnel marketing)
•photos!!
•Make sure you're SEOd!
•People love lists. Especially numbered lists! They make readers feel like they can gauge how much time they'll have to spend

I had never considered how "personal" food is. "Food triggers memories, emotions, and associations."
So eloquent @thewholedish

@thewholedish took "The Politics of Food and Wine" as a foreign exchange study? How French can it get? 👩‍🍳🥖🍷

"Thanksgiving week is just a bitch"
I don't think I've ever loved a one-liner more

I didn't grow up celebrating Thanksgiving so @thewholedish is doing some educating right now. How do people end up with such WACK traditional dishes?? #GreenBeansAndWhat??? #COMM206

[Alexandra Giardinelli @Alexandra_G218]

I FORGOT ABOUT OPEN DIARY. Does anyone remember that early 2000s disney movie about the girl who used her blog as a journal and it got leaked to her school?? #COMM206

[Alexandra Giardinelli @Alexandra_G218]

@thewholedish Is my spirit sister. That ghost writing, blog promoting, freelancing life though. I also hate the word "content". I feel so seen 🤩 💻 🖊

The assignment was to profile someone interesting... well how about "The Most Interesting Man in Any Small Town"?

You just can't help but enrapture people with stories when you've been traveling since infancy.

Interviewing my husband for a journalism exercise, I asked him to spit out the first thing that came to mind when I asked him questions.

Me: Your favorite moment?

Him: Proposing to you. For such a small gesture it feels like the most important thing I've done in my life.
😭😍

One of the best things you can do for your business is minimize how much effort it takes your customers or clients to get what they want from you. One of the ways you can make that happen? Mobile apps!
